interview had with him today, during the fly
| ing visit made by hiI9 to London, said:
prospecting the general situation, / may say
that in my judgment, more feeble or inert
government never held reins in Ireland. They
are teaching Irishmcn most disastrous les
sou by their bungling incapacity;a teaching
that law may be successfully dehed. For the
law as recently constructed by the uniOnst
majority in the house Of commons, is daily
deiied, and with IMMUNITY, by thousands of
members ofsupprassed branches Of the league,
and by every nationalist newspaper editor
in Ireland. In fact, one Of the extraor-
binary results of the coercion act, and ~ firm
and resolute government is that for every Of
Tense against the law committed before the
passage Of the coercion bill, hundreds are
committed now. | leave it to you to sly
whether Irelands respect for the imperial
parliament's possibility Of her continued gov
ornment by the Same agency, or the solidity
of the unionists is likely TO be increased, or
whether this administrative incapacity does not
render much nearer the concession Of such
reasonable powers Of self-government as will
make our people law-abiding, prosperous and
happy"
speech at Nottingham today, declared Mr.
Gladstone's statement that the murder of Con-
stable Wheland was put up case was AN alb
solute lie Mr.. Gladstone he said, was at one
end of the chain and Patrick Ford at the other
end A letter was read from Mr..
Bright referring TO his proposal to send Irish
bills TO a grand committee composed of Irish
members. In letter Mr.. Bright says:
"The rebel party will not accept the proposal,
because they are rebels, and with rebel Irish
members in the house of commons, the plan
would not be allowed TO work Mr.. Gladstone
has hobby in which the rebel leaders for the
time have agreed to Join him. lie is com
mitted to that hobby and cannot condescend
to consider a plan less protentious but more
reasonable than his. Nothing can be done
until Mr. Gladstone's bill has been entirely
got rid Of. He insists upon impossible legisla-
ton for Ireland to the exclusion of legislation
for tho whole. The Gladstoniansarea anxious
to return to power ana they are furious be-
cause the conservatives are in office, and they
blame me and others for keeping them there.
They seem blind to the fact that Mr.. Glad
stones conduct put the conservatives in office.
They forget that the electors of Great Britain,
by a majority of nearly two to one, condemned
Mr.. Gladstone's bills and destroyed his min
istry. We cannot allow Mr. Gladstone TO re-
turn to Office on his Irish policy. ! prefer TO
Join hands with Lord Salisbury and his col
leagues rather than with Parnell and his
friends, leaders Of the rebellion"
LONDON, November 23.--In speech at a
meeting Of the national union of conservatives
at Oxford, today, Lord Salisbury said he saw
in the success of the conference the happest
augury for the future.
Al the evening conference Lord Salisbury
said he would not renew the discussion of the
question whether home rule would be estab-
lished or not The author of the proposal had
withdrawn his measure. 1t would pass the
wit of man to produce home rule scheme
which would be pleasing to both MIR. Tleyylan
and Michael Davtt The coming session of
parliament would be devoted more TO measures
that would satisfy the pressing wants of Eng
land a reform of the local government was
long needed in England, and the government
hoped to carry measure that would
meet the wants of the country.
He did not intend, until there
was manifest change in Ireland, TO propose
increased powers of the local government
there. DISTINCTIONS had been threatened TO
everything that might he proposed in parlia-
mont until the demands OF the home rulers had
| been granted. The government was prepared
| to face obstruction. The present system of
! procedure was mot enough. Drastic reforms
were required to prevent wanton waste of
public time. He hoped the effect of these
measures would be the restoration of the char
acter and usefulness of the house, The queS-
ton of regulation of the liquor traffic, he con-
tmued, would have the foremost place in the
local government bill.
He was in favor OF liberty in that traffic, rs
far rs consistent with social order. He
said he was strongly opposed to church discs
adjustment, but admitted that the govern
mcnt was bound to reform the church by re-
moving whatever evils werel proved to exist.
He promised measure for the removal of
| 1.-THE charges from land. The state of agricul-
| ture, he said was deplorable. Whatever
! measures of self might obtain. genearl consent
would receive the readiest consideration of the
| government.
Referring to the Trafalgar Square troubles,
| he said he regarded abe meeting there as a
| lawless demonstration. They were the nat
| ural results of Mr. Gladstones words Mr..
| Gladstone could not preach to an Irish mob to
| defy the law without having his advice APP
| piled in England as WELL He Salisbury was
| convinced that the country would say with
| him that those claiming the right of public
| meeting were not privileged to convert ii into
| the right of making themselves public nui-
sancc. The government were determined, at
| all costs, to maintain the supremacy of law.
| [Checrs.l lie could not understand what it
| was that excited the sympathy of the English
| liberals in the case of William O'Brien, who
| had broken the law and melted others to law
lessneSs, He did not fear that the attacks of
| liberal leaders ON recognized principles of
! order would confuse the moral sense of the
| English nation. On the contrary, the substan-
tial effect would be TO convince the public
mind in favor of policy which Vndicated
! law and order throughout the kingdom.
| lCheers.

| Mr., Balfour is published, in which he refers
